Success for ANU researchers in 2019 ARC funding round

Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) have received nearly $40 million in research funding from the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Discovery Projects (DP) scheme 2019.

These outcomes have been highly favourable for the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS), with 8 ANU led DPs and 3 non-ANU led DPs being awarded to CECS researchers.

ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt said that ANU funding will go towards research in various fields: physics, artificial intelligence, astronomy, chemistry, health, amongst several other fields.

“ANU is the leading research institution in the Asia-Pacific region and our researchers spend their days investigating and solving the biggest challenges to face Australians and our regional neighbours,” said Professor Schmidt.

“This funding from the ARC is an investment in our nation’s and our neighbours’ future.”
